#Wikibon Key for deciding where to place it is where the data is. Moving AI compute to where the data is is must more cost effective and latency effective.

there is a massive need to reduce time-to-value right now - a majority of organizations are taking over a year to see value in their AI/ML initiatives. Solutions that can reduce that time and validate it with public case studies will quickly be put on the short list.

#Wikibon Improving all elements of the workflow, from data, through modeling, through inference implementation, and refining

There are lots of ways to improve time-to-value in the #AI workflow. Our work in the @DellEMC #HPC and #AI Innovation Lab on distributed #deeplearning can help with one part of the process: https://community.em...

@MikeLeone_IT that's very consistent with what we see in conversations with our customers.

Karl, we would love to host you at our HPC & AI Innovation Lab in Austin to see for yourself.

Karl, great question, we can offer our partners expertise

@Kevinjgray58 Karl, we would love to host you at our HPC & AI Innovation Lab in Austin to see for yourself

Sorry hit send too soon, we can work with partners on the use case, choosing the correct framework and libraries. Plus, we can help you understand how to get that AI workload into production at scale.

Karl - You are always welcome to visit our state of the art lab..:)

Karl, let me know if we can talk, partners a

Thanks, I would like to evangelize this offering to our partners, many of whom are keen to mine data, but don’t know how to get started. The idea of an AI bundled solution eliminates a major hurdle, however, a cost analysis of this versus AWS or Azure would help. Got one?

infrastructure cost and lack of trained staff serve as the big roadblocks right now

.@plburris The new innovation cocktail = Data + #AI + Cloud scale so constraints are primarily data quality & accessibility (i.e. no stovepipes), AI skills & resources (talent)...access to cloud scale is pretty much table stakes by now but the other two are significant barriers

AI is a new technology, and needs to be tested first in relatively bounded applications

@dfloyer agreed. Organizations are at various stages of the AI adoption journey, but almost all start with some sort of sandboxed environment at first.

@dfloyer Starting with a really well defined use case, usually a piece of software is so important.

It's actually a set of technologies with long vintage. What's new about AI is the extent to which it's been deployed into operational business applications and infrastructure, and the extent to which it's the core focus of developers for all types of disruptive apps

@dvellante Access to automation throughout the AI pipeline is as critical as cloud-scale. It's all about speeding up the DevOps cycle for these AI-driven apps, bringing greater consistency, industrializing the process 24x7 in enterprise development/IT shops.

Government / aerospace / defense use cases

Automating data workflows

Healthcare is ripe for disruption - but really hasn't been disrupted yet - really interested to see how machine intelligence applies in the near-to-mid term there #AI

we see a lot of interest in applications that can use image or video processing to improve business outcomes. For e.g. using pictures of components as they come into a manufacturing plant to scan for defects before they are used

Also interested in: 1/ Will machines make better diagnoses than Docs? 2/ Will driving your own car become the exception? 3/ Will large retail stores mostly disappear? 4/ What's the future of warfare and what role will #AI play?

improving operational efficiency, reducing risk, and improving security have been leading the way

@MikeLeone_IT +1 on the operational efficiency. Freeing up resources to do more creative and higher value activities.

Personal favorite AI use cases are in healthcare. Already useful in object classification (e.g. tumor detection), coming soon for NLP transcription of EHRs, and eventually full NLP on patient oral responses, prediction of illness onset, better treatment plan suggestions, and more

.@JayBoisseau One of the most incredible uses in healthcare I’ve seen @TGen is delivering precision medicine based on the Human Genome just inspiring. #AI will further transform this field. #IWork4Dell

@NickBrackney Love the @TGen folks, know them well.. and talking to them about next steps in using #AI :-)
